USC Now has Just 1/2 of a 2004 Mythical National Championship
As expected, the BCS has stripped USC of its 2004 BCS title over the Reggie Bush affair. AP still maintains the vote for the Trojans National Championship stands.

Texas Football And Institutional Control
Given the headlines that have plagued college football over the past couple of years, this piece submitted by a former Longhorn letterman who played under Mack Brown was particularly timely and relevant. He currently serves our country in the United States Navy and is the proud wearer of a...

But the music from that Corona Light commercial that keeps running on the games I watch is now running through my...

Pac-10 Basketball Pick 'Em: Week 2 Results
It was another interesting week of Pac-10 basketball, with a few surprises along the way. I'm pretty happy with where the Wildcats are right now, and the Pac-10 as a whole. Lets hope the Pac-10 earns a little more respect this season. I'm still a little bummed that neither Arizona, nor Oregon...
